This spoke to me in my quiet time this morning...

From Beth Moore:

"Humility is the natural posture of anyone who grasps the GREATNESS of GOD."

I Peter 5:6 "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time."

I have been convicted lately in how I respond to people I meet in public who look at me and say things like, " Are ALL those your kids? How do you do it? I used to respond with something like..."With a lot of prayer." Or, many times I respond with nothing at all but a smile...not giving the glory to the ONE who deserves it all.
I felt convicted.
Convicted that in some way I was communicating that it was MY action of praying that was pulling me through.
My action.
It is not about me.
I also felt convicted because saying the word "prayer" these days doesn't mean a whole lot.
Who in the world am I praying to?

Humility is something that I continue to work on...knowing that as wife and mom I am NOTHING apart from Christ and His power that is at work in me.
